Kenehi 34
1 Na ka haere atu a Rina, tamahine a Rea, i whanau nei i a raua ko Hakopa, kia kite i nga tamahine o te whenua.
UDina indodakazi kaLeya, ayizalela uJakobe, wasephuma ukuyabona amadodakazi elizwe.
2 A ka kite a Hekeme, tama a Hamora Hiwi, rangatira o taua whenua, i a ia; a ka hopukia ia e ia, a ka takoto ki a ia, ka whakaiti hoki i a ia.
Njalo uShekema indodana kaHamori umHivi, isiphathamandla selizwe, sambona, samthatha, salala laye, samona.
3 Na ka piri tona wairua ki a Rina, tamahine a Hakopa, a ka aroha ia ki te kotiro ra, ka whakamarie hoki i te ngakau o taua kotiro.
Inhliziyo yaso yasinamathela kuDina indodakazi kaJakobe, sayithanda intombi, sakhuluma kunhliziyo yentombi.
4 Na ka korero a Hekeme ki a Hamora, ki tona papa, ka mea, Tikina te kotiro nei hei wahine maku.
UShekema wasekhuluma kuHamori uyise esithi: Ngithathela lintombi ibe ngumkami.
5 Na i rongo a Hakopa kua pokea a Rina, tana tamahine, e ia; a i te parae ana tama, i ana kararehe: na ka whakarongo puku a Hakopa, kia tae mai ra ano ratou.
UJakobe wasesizwa ukuthi usemngcolisile uDina indodakazi yakhe; lamadodana akhe ayesezifuyweni egangeni; njalo uJakobe wathula aze afika.
6 Na ka haere a Hamora papa o Hekeme ki a Hakopa ki te korero ki a ia.
UHamori uyise kaShekema wasephuma waya kuJakobe ukuze akhulume laye.
7 Na ka haere mai nga tama a Hakopa i te parae, i to ratou rongonga; a ka matangerengere aua tangata, ka tino riri hoki, mo tana mahi wairangi i roto i a Iharaira, i a ia i takoto ra ki te tamahine a Hakopa; he mahi hoki kihai i tika.
Kwathi amadodana kaJakobe efika evela egangeni esezwile, amadoda adabuka, athukuthela kakhulu ngoba wayenze ubuphukuphuku koIsrayeli ngokulala lendodakazi kaJakobe, okungafanele kwenziwe ngokunjalo.
8 Na ka korero a Hamora ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko Hekeme, ko taku tama, piri tonu tona wairua ki ta koutou tamahine: homai ia ki a ia, ne? hei wahine.
UHamori wasekhuluma labo esithi: UShekema indodana yami, inhliziyo yakhe iyayilangatha indodakazi yenu; ake limnike yona ibe ngumkakhe.
9 A kia marenatia tatou ki a tatou; homai a koutou tamahine ki a matou, a me tango hoki a matou tamahine ma koutou.
Njalo yendiselanani lathi, lisiphe amadodakazi enu, lani lizithathele amadodakazi ethu.
10 A me noho koutou ki a matou: a ka takoto atu te whenua i mua i a koutou: e noho i reira, ka hokohoko i reira, ka whakatupu rawa ma koutou i reira.
Hlalani-ke lathi, lelizwe lizakuba phambi kwenu; hlalani lithengiselane kulo, lifuye kulo.
11 A ka mea a Hekeme ki tona papa ratou ko ona tungane, Kia manakohia mai ahau e koutou, a ko ta koutou e ki mai ai ki ahau ka hoatu e ahau.
UShekema wasesithi kuyise wentombi lakubanewabo: Angithole umusa emehlweni enu; lalokho elizakutsho kimi ngizanika.
12 Ahakoa pehea te nui o te tapakuha me te hakari e meatia mai e koutou ki ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ta koutou e ki mai ai ki ahau: otira homai te kotiro hei wahine maku.
Yandisani kakhulu kimi ilobolo lesipho, njalo ngizakupha njengoba litshilo kimi; kodwa ngiphani intombi ibe ngumkami.
13 Na ka whakahoki tinihanga nga tama a Hakopa ki a Hekeme raua ko Hamora, ko tona papa, i mea hoki ratou mo Rina, mo to ratou tuahine, i whakapokea e ia;
Amadodana kaJakobe asephendula uShekema loHamori uyise ngobuqili, athi, ngenxa yokuthi ubesemngcolisile uDina udadewabo,
14 Ka mea ratou ki a raua, E kore tenei mea e taea e matou te mea, te hoatu i to matou tuahine ki te tangata kahore i kotia; he tawainga hoki tena mo matou:
athi kubo: Asilakuyenza lindaba, ukunika udadewethu indoda engasokwanga, ngoba kulihlazo kithi.
15 Tenei ia te mea e whakaae ai matou ki a koutou: ki te peneitia koutou me matou, ki te kotia o koutou tane katoa;
Kodwa ngalokhu singalivumela, uba libe njengathi, ukuthi wonke owesilisa wakini asokwe,
16 Katahi ka hoatu e matou a matou tamahine ki a koutou, ka tangohia mai hoki a koutou tamahine ma matou, a ka noho matou i roto i a koutou, a ka meinga tatou hei iwi kotahi.
sizalinika-ke amadodakazi ethu, lathi amadodakazi enu sizithathele, njalo sihlale lani sibe yisizwe sinye.
17 Ki te kahore ia koutou e rongo ki ta matou, kia kotia koutou; na ka tango matou i ta matou tamahine, ka haere.
Kodwa uba lingasilaleli lisokwe, sizathatha indodakazi yethu, sihambe.
18 Na i pai a ratou kupu ki a Hamora, ki a Hekeme hoki, ki te tama a Hamora.
Lamazwi abo aba mahle emehlweni kaHamori, lemehlweni kaShekema indodana kaHamori.
19 A kihai i whakaroa taua tamaiti ki te mea i taua mea, he matenui hoki nona ki te tamahine a Hakopa: he nui atu ano ia i nga tangata katoa o te whare o tona papa.
Njalo ijaha kaliphuzanga ukwenza lindaba, ngoba yayilentokozo endodakazini kaJakobe; yayilodumo kulendlu yonke kayise.
20 Na ka haere a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama, ki te kuwaha o to raua pa, a ka korero ki nga tangata o to raua pa, ka mea,
UHamori wasefika, loShekema indodana yakhe, esangweni lomuzi wabo, basebekhuluma kumadoda omuzi wabo, besithi:
21 He hunga ata noho tenei ki a tatou; no reira tukua ratou kia noho ki tenei whenua, kia hokohoko ki konei; na ko te whenua nei, nana, he nui noa atu mo ratou; me tango mai e tatou a ratou tamahine hei wahine ma tatou, ka hoatu hoki i a tatou tama hine ki a ratou.
Lamadoda alokuthula lathi; ngakho kabahlale elizweni bathengiselane kulo; ngoba ilizwe, khangelani, libanzi inhlangothi zombili phambi kwawo; amadodakazi abo sizawathatha abe ngomkethu, lamadodakazi ethu sizawanika wona.
22 Kotahi ano ia te mea e whakaae mai ai aua tangata ki a tatou, kia noho ki a tatou, kia waiho hei iwi kotahi, ki te kotia o tatou tane katoa, ki te peratia me ratou kua kotia nei.
Kulokhu kuphela amadoda azavumelana lathi, ukuhlala lathi, ukuba yisizwe sinye, nxa wonke owesilisa wethu esokiwe, njengalokhu esokiwe wona.
23 Ko a ratou kararehe, ko a ratou taonga, me a ratou kirehe katoa, e kore ianei ena e riro mai i a tatou? erangi me whakaae atu tatou ki a ratou, a ka noho ratou ki a tatou.
Inkomo zawo lempahla yawo lazo zonke izifuyo zawo kaziyikuba ngezethu yini? Kuphela asiwavumele, ahlale-ke lathi.
24 A i whakarongo ki a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama, nga tangata katoa i haere atu i te kuwaha o tona pa; a i kotia katoatia nga tane, nga tangata katoa i haere atu i te kuwaha o tona pa.
Basebelalela uHamori loShekema indodana yakhe, bonke abaphuma ngesango lomuzi wakhe; basebesokwa, wonke owesilisa, bonke abaphuma ngesango lomuzi wakhe.
25 A i te toru o nga ra, i a ratou e mamae ana, na ka tango nga tama tokorua a Hakopa, a Himiona raua ko Riwai, nga tungane o Rina, i tana hoari, i tana hoari, a haere ohorere ana ki te pa, a patua iho e raua nga tane katoa.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu beselobuhlungu, amadodana amabili kaJakobe, oSimeyoni loLevi, abanewabo bakaDina, ngulowo lalowo wathatha inkemba yakhe, awujuma umuzi, abulala wonke owesilisa.
26 I patua ano hoki e raua a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama ki te mata o te hoari, a tangohia ana e raua a Rina i roto i te whare o Hekeme, a haere ana.
Asebabulala oHamori loShekema indodana yakhe ngobukhali benkemba, amkhupha uDina endlini kaShekema, aphuma.
27 Na ka haere nga tama a Hakopa ki te hunga i patua, a pahuatia ana e ratou te pa, mo to ratou tuahine i whakapokea e ratou.
Amadodana kaJakobe ehlela phezu kwasebebulewe, awuphanga umuzi, ngoba babemngcolisile udadewabo.
28 I tangohia e ratou a ratou hipi, a ratou kau, a ratou kaihe, me nga mea hoki i te pa, me nga mea ano hoki i te mara;
Athatha izimvu zabo lenkomo zabo labobabhemi babo lalokho okwakusemzini lalokho okwakusegangeni,
29 Me a ratou taonga katoa, a whakaraua ana a ratou tamariki katoa, me a ratou wahine, i pahuatia ano hoki nga mea katoa i roto i te whare.
lenotho yabo yonke, labantwana babo bonke abancinyane, labomkabo, athumba abaphanga, lakho konke okwakusendlini.
30 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Himiona raua ko Riwai, Ka raru ahau i a korua, ka meinga kia piro i roto i nga tangata whenua, i roto i nga Kanaani ratou ko nga Perihi: a ka huihui mai ratou ki ahau, ki te hunga tokoiti, a ka patua ahau; a ka ngaro ahau, ahau me toku whare.
UJakobe wasesithi kuSimeyoni loLevi: Lingihluphile, ngokungenza ukuthi ngibe levumba phakathi kwabakhileyo belizwe, phakathi kwamaKhanani lamaPerizi; njalo ngimlutshwana, futhi bazangihlanganyela bangitshaye, ngibe sengichitheka mina lendlu yami.
31 A ka mea raua, Kia peratia koia e ia to matou tuahine me te wahine kairau?
Basebesithi: Amenze yini udadewethu njengesifebe?
